[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Republicans and independents should also think about registering as Democrats and voting in the Democratic primaries so they can have an impact on the only election that matters, instead of throwing their votes away.[/quote]

There need to be VIABLE candidates with different views otherwise the concept of "voting" is meaningless. No opposition gives us Allen. Too much opposition that splits the vote > Nadeau. People need to be strategic. Realistically, MD or NoVA are still safety than DC and DC shows no signs of truly changing.

The Council is an issue, the USAO is an issue, same for AG, and so are DC Superior Court judges. The USAO and judges are appointed and we have no control besides public pressure and visibility. The Congressional hearing may have incentivized the USAO office a bit, time will tell. Bowser and Council knew of the soaring no paper rate since 2017, it was documented in annual reports. They never had hearings or went to press about it. That is why all the blather @ the mayor, mpd, etc, re: crime is a deflection, the real levers in the CJS are prosecution, sentencing and legislation. No papering up to 67% of cases, including violent felonies, fit the ideology of many on the Council, what is Bowser's excuse? Her admin prepared and signed off on those reports to the Council.

Call your CM, Mendelson and at large members and ask if they are supporting Pinto's recent safety bill. I have not had any positive responses so far, maybe with some public pressure they will shift? [/quote]
